Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy concentrates on the ability to perform specific movements during everyday activities.
Occupational therapists work to adapt the environment to fit the person, as well as provide guidance and education for family members and caregivers. Occupational therapy is vital for those looking to return to daily activities.
WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
Occupational therapy (OT) is the use of assessment and intervention to develop, recover, or maintain meaningful activities or occupations.

WHAT TO EXPECT
When To Arrive
On average, a patient’s first visit lasts about one hour. We ask that patients arrive 15 minutes early to sign-in and complete paperwork.
What To Bring
On your first visit, you’ll need to bring your physician referral or prescription (if needed), your insurance card, your primary registration forms, your ID or driver’s license and your co-payment (as applicable).
Your First Visit
Our office managers will help you through completing the registration and insurance process, then you will begin your evaluation with a therapist. It is helpful to know your key past medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Your movement, strength, coordination, and other factors will be evaluated before our therapist discusses with you their recommendation and prepares a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment Plan
Evaluation findings will be shared with your referring physician or preferred medical expert, and the office managers will help you plan your series of visits based on the quantity and frequency determined by your therapist. Your subsequent visits will focus on treatment that is based on your diagnosis and individualized goals.
